Project

Lead-in

In groups of four, look at

an electricity bill. How

much is the bill? What do

all the numbers mean?

Task

You will create a poster to

make students in your school

aware of how they use and

waste electricity.

The poster should contain

advice on how to reduce

energy consumption in the

home.

Step 1

Find out the following:

- What is a unit of electricity

called?

- How much is the cost per unit?
- What is the average electricity bill

for each household in the class?

Step 2

Discuss as a class:

- which appliances are used the most in each house
- which appliances they think are the most expensive

and the least expensive to run.

Use the information in Tasks 2 & 3 in Listening 2 (p.104).

Step 3

In your group find out as much as you can about electricity consumption in

the house. Each member of the group will be responsible for different areas:

Student 1 has to find out about the number of hours the TV, computer, stereo, is on each
day.
Student 2 has to find out the numbers of hours the cooker, dishwasher, washing machine or
microwave is used in a week.
Student 3 has to think of ways that could reduce the electricity bill from the ways the parents
use electricity in the house.
Student 4 has to think of ways to reduce how the children in the family use electricity.

Each student will report back to the group in the next lesson. The group will

then prepare a poster project on Electricity Consumption and how to save it.
